I took my very first cooking class, and I’m so glad it was a Peruvian cooking class! It was such a fun and memorable family experience for our family of four. Chef Jesus was incredibly friendly, patient, and knowledgeable—he not only taught us how to prepare delicious Peruvian dishes, but also shared the history and culture behind the food. He was extremely accommodating of the gluten-free dietary needs for myself and our two kids (ages 9 and 12), while still allowing my husband to enjoy each dish in its true, traditional form. It made the experience perfect for all of us. If you’re visiting and want a hands-on, authentic experience, I highly recommend taking this cooking class. It’s perfect for families—you’ll learn a lot, eat amazing food, and have a great time together!
Great experience!

This was a great cooking class where we not only learned to prepare two of our favorite Peruvian dishes, but also had a lot of fun. Jesús also answered all our questions and it all tasted very delicious. We recommend everyone to attend a course, it is worth it!

10/10 recommend this experience. My group of 4 attended the 1.5 hour class with Chef Jesus. He has been a chef for 15 years and his knowledge and experience contributes directly to the quality of his class. The ingredients were fresh, the cooking process was easy, and everything was delicious! Chef Jesus and his assistants were incredibly kind, patient, and informative. We learned so much about the history of Peruvian cuisine and how to make traditional Peruvian dishes! Would absolutely recommend
A great experience and meal
